Labor with a scheduled cs

in C-sections

So I have been in the mind set that my water is just going to break again so I won't have to worry about labor.  Well now I am 10 days from my due date and scheduled cs (same date- June 4th) and labor over water breaking is a real possibility so I was asking my doctor what I should do if I actually go into labor and she told me the same as a vaginal birth. Labor at home until contractions are 5 min apart for an hour.  I just find this weird being that I know I have to have a C-section so why cut it so close. What have your doctors said about when to come in if your go into labor?

    Mine told me to go to L&D as soon as contractions are regular or right away if my water breaks.  My cs is scheduled next Friday.

    I'm having twins and its my third pregnancy. I went really fast with my second. This time, since I'm getting a c sec, she wants me to come in the minute I'm a timeable 10 minutes apart.
    So, to me, 5 minutes apart for a singleton doesn't sound that bad. I think it just confirms that your in labor and it won't go away.
    Which pregnancy is this for you?
    I'm moble bumping, so can't see tickers or pics or anything.

    I'm scheduled for the 4th as well, and my due date is the 8th. My doctor told me that if contractions get regular and 10 minutes apart, I should head to the hospital, because little guy is breech. I guess it depends on the reason behind the c-section, and if labor is more likely to end up in complications. But if it was me, I wouldn't want to go through hours of labor if I knew I was having a c section anyways!

    mine told me to go to L&D when I started feeling contractions--I went into labor 2 weeks before my scheduled repeat c section (which was schedule for week 39)
